All you Americans posting glowing news articles about Doug Ford like he’s some kind of Canadian hero. You’re falling for a conman yet again.

When America comes for our water, it won’t be for their people. It will be for their data centers. #canada #waterislife #ai

Do you think all the positive attention Luigi is getting will divert active shooter types away from targeting school children and divert them toward other targets?

@liztai I’d recommend downloading a trial version from the site and checking it out for yourself. I’ve used it since it was in alpha. I like it for longform writing. It’s feature rich which some people love (I do) but some people find it daunting. #scrivener

Utah is banning a whole list of books.

“The books include works by world-famous authors such as Judy Blume and Margaret Atwood – ironically the author of dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale.

The new ruling requires schools to physically “dispose” of them, the practicalities of which when discussed in June led board member Brent Strate to joke: “I don’t care if it’s shredded, burned, it has to be destroyed one way or another.”

Canoe rentals at the retreat. Writing is not going well but I’m enjoying myself regardless. #WritingRetreat #writing

It's now confirmed that my daughter contracted Covid at work (a local retail store). She discovered at least two of her coworkers also contracted it. The manager is pressuring them to go back to work with Covid. My daughter has refused to do so as she doesn’t want to infect her customers, many of whom are elderly. I'm sure this is not the only store pressuring sick people to work. Wear a mask while shopping, folks! #Covid #CovidIsNotOver
